Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We are testing a gel intended for the protection and healing of chronic wounds as a support for standard therapy. The main component of the gel is chitosan, a natural polymer that has the ability to stop bleeding, has a positive effect on wound healing, and has antimicrobial properties.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this PMCF study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ChitoCare medical Wound Healing Gel for the healing of chronic wounds. The study will enroll patients with diabetic foot ulcer, venous ulcer or pressure ulcer. Patients will be randomly assigned to an active or control group. The active group will apply the gel to the wound, in addition to the standard of care, while the control group will receive only standard care. The study will last from 3 to 18 months for an individual patient (15-month recruitment period and 3 months of follow-up after the last patient is enrolled) or until event occurrence (complete wound healing/exclusion from the study). The study envisages four visits: Visit 1 - Screening and Inclusion visit, Visit 2 (after 4 weeks), Visit 3 (after 12 weeks) and Visit 4 - End of Study Visit: The final visit will take place when the event occurs (complete healing/exclusion from study). On each visit, the patients will have their wound photographed and assessed after debridement. Adverse events will be followed throughout the whole study.
